Taking out my extensions

I got 12 inch extensions last may, had a touch up in Jul, cut about 9 inches off in Sept, cause they were getting all tangled and i didn't want to redo them. Now I'm debating on taking them out. A few have gotten pretty matted, not extremely horrible, but worse enough. She used glue..a keratin glue i believe..and when i went back for a touch up, she removed the old glue with acetone, which i later found out seems to be a big no no..but i didn't know. Now, i have moved out of state and really don't know what to do..i don't think i would even go back to her anyway. if i even had that choice. Anyway, would having them be professionally taken out, be the smartest thing to do?. or can i take them out at home. i can break the glue with my own fingers, because it seems to be pretty weak, and the hair falls out, but i didn't know if this was the healthiest way. Any input would be appreciated!.

 

Thanks

  • umm   go and get it taken out because  you do not  want to pull out your own  hair as well  ..  

    safer that  way  too   because iam sure they  might have to  even out  your own hair anyways ..  because   iam sure   your hair will   be   uneven    after all the  process ..

     

    Good Luck to you !!

  • hiii..ive had extensions for a while i got them done at the salon and have been taking them out and putting them in whenever i want..i use a oil they sell at sallys and it helps to detach the glue from the scalp.otherwise ur gonna have to pull them out and it hurts lol
